1-1/4 cup squashe'd bugs (peanut butter or almond butter)
1 cup rocks (chopped walnuts or pecans)
3/4 cup dry grass (toasted wheat germ)
1 cup crumbled egg shells (shaved coconut, wide shreds)
1/2 cup crushed bones (instant tofu or soy milk powder) or enough for proper
consistency
3-4 tablespoon swamp water (
carob flavored soy milk)
1/4 cup bugs eggs (sesame seeds)
1 tablespoon lava (unsulphured light molasses or maple syrup)
1 lb dirt (2 cups
carob chips)
1/4 cup Adams Ale (hot water)
Directions:With hands, mix together grashoppers (dates), bugs (peanut butter), rocks (nuts), dried grass (wheat germ), egg shells (coconut shreds), crushed bones (milk powder) swamp water (carob flavored soy milk), bugs eggs (sesame seeds) and lava (molasses or maple syrup). Roll into balls. Melt dirt (carob chips) in top of double boiler over hot water. Using tongs, dip dinosaur eggs (candy pieces) into dirt (melted carob chips) to cover entire egg. Arrange on wax paper and store in refrigerator or freezer. These dinosaur eggs also taste great without any dirt (carob chip) covering. Makes about 3 dozen eggs that look like chocolate balls.
Serves: about 3 dozen eggs
Preparation time: 1 hour

This sounds really cool and interesting.. I don't have kids, I'm not even around kids much, but I thought it was cute and creative. Good also to see recipes for sweets without sugar, gelatin and hydrogenated fats but natural ingredients. I may have to try these for myself one day!
